  1. Fine Motor Exercises With Putty & Play Dough

  2. Hide objects To make things interesting for kids, Hide objects in the playdough & putty and have kids go for a "treasure hunt" with their fingers.  This is a motivating way to give the fingers a fine motor workout without the kids even realizing it.  Bonus: if you hide beads in the putty, you can have kids thread them onto a string afterwards as a secondary activity to work some bilateral coordination practice in. Hunting items really make the game even more interesting while boosting their coordination.

  3. Roll the dough/putty You can also make the kids try something different. It includes rolling the dough/putty into a snake and/or ball. Now, it seems like a simple activity, but the child will have to grade his/her hands to use the appropriate pressure - enough pressure to create a snake for instance, but not too much so that the snake gets too skinny and breaks. It is also engaging and builds kids interest.

  4. Make shapes One of the other ways of using clay & modeling dough is making shapes out of the dough/putty and have the child imitate the shapes you create.  Make the sun, a cat's face, a fish, waves, and so forth.  This is a great way to practice turn-taking skills as well as hand-eye coordination. There are numerous interesting items you kids can make using the playdough. From animals to birds, cars and more. Let them explore the creativity.

  5. Throw a birthday party Making amazing birthday cakes and candles are possible with playdough putty. It is fun and exciting for kids to make fake cakes with it. Have the child cut a straw into small pieces and also form a rounded "cake" shape out of the putty/dough.  Then have them put the straw "birthday candles" on the cake.  You can check out interesting YouTube videos to find interesting activities.

  6. Cut the putty/dough You can also cut the putty or dough into pieces using a child-friendly knife. To make the activity more difficult, the child can practice using a fork to stabilize the putty while he/she cuts it to work on practical feeding/eating and utensil skills. It is best to avoid leaving your kids alone while they cut it. it is best you cut it in front of them so they can learn.

  7. Flatten the putty out Flatten the putty out on the table and then have the child pull it down with their fingers (imagine the motion of scratching nails on a chalkboard, but on a flat surface).  To work on finger isolation or individual finger strength, have the child do this with just one finger.  This is really good for testing where the child's strengths/weaknesses are and where improvement may be necessary. Pinching is also a good motion.
